The terrain is also quite challenging.

Modi is on a two-day visit to Gujarat, where he earlier paid floral tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the iconic Statue of Unity on the birth anniversary of the country’s first home minister.

Since 2014, Sardar Patel’s birth anniversary has been celebrated on October 31 as ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas’, or National Unity Day.
